+1. Is f***ing slippery out there!!! Use the engine to assist slowing where possible, but show a brake light when slowing.Originally Posted by Mark_Able
5. Cold Weather - don't even attempt to ride quickly! Save the heroics for summer riding (if you have to), and focus on riding smoothly and safely. For roundabouts and bends, don't think you look like a numpty just because you're doing 5mph. It's better to go too slow and get there, than feel pressured into going faster and binning it. Braking should be progressive, always being prepared to come off the brakes if it loses grip. Accelerating should be smooth, and done with the bike as upright as possible. Getting on the power too early could result in losing grip at the rear, which if the bike is upright is more controllable. Don't try and push any lean-angle limits.
Better to get there late, than not get there at all...
